EDITORIAL NOTE
How to Measure the Contents of the
Brain so Far as Its Dynamics
are Concerned.
[ The series of articles which will
appear under the above heading , con
tributed by C. F. W. Marquardt , Neu
rologist and Opthalmologlst , will bo
Interesting and Instructive , so that If
followed carefully the reader will be
able to extract mental and physical
benefits. Some of the propositions
may appear remarkable In view of the
popular view extant ; but the object
in giving them to the public Is to cul
tivate reasoning powers and to show
that popular Ideas are fads , nnd why. ]
This Is ono of the most Interesting
stories of all because none of 'you
suspected that you had gauges at
tached to you Just as a steam holler
has , nnd you have two of them If you
are all there , just as the holler has
They are your eyes , and by taking an
Instrument called the Ophtlmluio
scope the expert neurologist may look
In either eye and toll ns much of your
quality nnd quantity of your blood as
an engineer can tell about the water
In the boiler by his glass gauge
Then wo can take the two eyes to
nether , or If one of them happens to
bo a glass eye we can get along wltl
one and measure the amount of pressure
sure , supplied by the nerve tank
which dynamic test Is corroborate !
by other dynamic tests and by static
tests with instruments and by othe
means so that when the examlnntloi
Is completed we not only know how
much energy Is used by that person
each day , but wo know If ho Is using
too much and where the leak Is nn <
how to stop It , and this is why neurol
ogy affords opportunity for old chron
Ics to get well. It does not work by
fright or fermentation. Our patient
are required to follow Instructions am
wo are given a reason for each Item
with an explanation of the effects o
treatment during the first few weeks
The reader > knows , If he has eve
been connected with the moving o
household goods , that it took severa
days before he got settled , and the
some more days before you felt per
fectly at home , and if you suffered a
little sickness it did not alarm you.
still it wasn't pleasant.
This Is just the way with the prac
tice of Neurology. It is absolutely
safe and while It causes homesick
ness , sea sickness etc. , at first. It rarely -
ly lasts longer than the sensations
above referred to. There are tables
of the dynamics of the nervous sys
tem In which is given the strain dis
tributed throughout Khe body , and
these tables are so accurate that the
doctor proves his examining finely
by calculating the age of the patient
upon data. This is a professional se
cret , however. He would be offended
If asked to disclose the age of his
patients.
It may he safely concluded that the
Neurologist knows how to fit glasses
perfectly and many people flock to
such doctors for that work alone , and
it is sometimes embarrassing when he
refuses to take the case. The cir
cumstances under which he refuses
to take a case are these : Someone
has a friend who was treated by the
Neurologist and who was given a pair
of glasses as a part of the treatment.
Great relief came and the patient or
friend or both gave all the credit to
the glasses , when they only did a
small share ; or the case referred to
may have been entirely different from
one presenting itself and glasses may
have been all that was needed , but
the doctor knows the difference nnd
he would not only bo foolish to let
the patient tell him what was needed ,
but would be doing a great wrong to
himself and the patient. No one
should patronize any doctor In whom
he has no confidence and no doctor
should take any case where he knows
confidence is lacking , because be can
not afford to risk his reputation for
a few paltry dollars.
A doctor who understands his busi
ness and whose business is based so
thoroughly upon mathematics as Neu
rology Is , can not only afford to dic
tate to his patients but ho can not af
ford not to. The public should under
stand that when he takes a case It is
a favor to that person. It is certainly
no particular favor to recommend a
patient to the doctor to go to him to
be treated when the patient lacks con
fidence In the doctor. The next ar
ticle will be , "Why and Because. "

TYELVE FINE ANIMALS ON ZIT-
SLAUQH FARM DEAD.
NO EVIDENCE OF LIGHTNING
But There Is , For That Matter , No Ev
idence of Anything Else That Could
Have Effected the Death of the
Beasts So Suddenly.
[ From Tuesiluv's O.illv. ]
What Is responsible for the sudden
ind mysterious death of twblvo heal-
by looking cattle during the night
it the farm of Frank /Itslaugh , south
) f the city ? Did lightning strike them ,
without leaving a mark on the barn ?
Did they die of poisoning In their food ,
while their mates continued to live
nnd grow fatter ? Or did the boasts ,
tired of the rainy weather , form a mil-
cldo club nnd cud their lives together ?
These arc the questions which have
been running through , the mind of
Mr. Eltslaugh since ho got up yester
day morning , wont to the stable nnd
found twelve of his choicest animals
stone dead. There was not a slngh-
mark on the barn to Indicate thai
lightning had struck the place , nor
had any report of lightning heou
heard during the night. There was
no mark on the cattle to show that
they had been maliciously slaughtered
by a hostile being , nnd the owner Is
quite nt a loss to understand how they
did come or could come , so silently
and so mysteriously and yet BO quick
ly and surely to their deaths.
When the cattle had been locked up
for the night , they were all looking
well nnd apparently feeling well. They
had eaten tholr usual meal and other
cattle that nto the same fol > ds arc
allvo to tell the story , If they only
would.

BADLY HURT IN WAGON WHEEL
The Little 7-Year-Old Son of Mr. and

Vincent Stafford , 7-year-old son of
Mr. and Mrs. P. Stafford , Is very bad
ly bruised about the head nnd body
as a result of the accident in which
lie was mangled Tuesday night by a
delivery wagon wheel. While catchIng -
Ing on the wagon as it swung around
a corner , he was caught between the
box of the wagon nnd the wheel nnd
whirled completely around one rev
olution. His head was caught and
lie was severely bruised. His physi
cian stated that It can not be known
until tonight whether or not the In
juries will be serious , but the little
follow seems to be resting as well as
could be expected today and to be
enduring the matter bravely , nnd It
is believed that ho will not suffer se
rious consequences.

BONESTEEL MATRIMONIAL CLUB
IS FLOURISHING.
MANY ARE WILLING TO WED
To Eliminate the Nearly 10,000 , Proposals -
posals Received by the Reservation
Girls , for Marriage , a Corporation
Has Been Formed.
Bonesteol. S. D. . May 17 To elim
inate from nearly 10,000 matrimonial
proposals the offers that mean busl
ness Is the purpose of the Iloneatee
Matrimonial club , organized by 120
voung women who drew prizes when
the Rosebud Indian reservation was
opened for occupancy.
Before one can wed any member ol
the club , which t'lnbracos all the single
glo women who drew prizes In the lam
lottery the applicant must servo ni
apprenticeship on the farm of the
young woman he desires to marry
plowing , planting , tilling , and harvest
Ing her land for ono season.
Applications must bo tiled with the
secretary on recommendation of ( tie
member most concerned , the suitor
agreeing to the terms mentioned. Ap
plications lie over one year , during
which the applicant has opportunltj
to demonstrate his honesty nnd general
oral worth as a husband and help
meet.
Club to be Incorporated.
The club , which will be Incorporated
under I ho laws of South Dakota ns a
"mutual protection nnd benevolent In
stitution. " lias the following ofllrcrs :
President Miss Ruth Partle. for
merly of Frankfort. Ind.
Vlre president Miss Kstollo Salle ,
Lognnsport , Ind.
Secretary Miss Ella Thompson ,
Flora. Ind.
Failing during the year of appren
ticeship to demonstrate the qualities
desired , the applicant may bo black
balled on vote of the club , and the
members are pledged to abide by the
decision. The rejeeted applicant for
matrimonial bliss and n Ronesteel
farm has no recourse. He forfeits any
claim to wages for labor performed
and has agreed either to leave Bone-
steel or to necept a second choice , the
latter alternative meaning n new ap
plication and another year of appren
ticeship.
Successful suitors are given quarter
sections of land In their own right out
of the pool formed by the club mem
bers to constitute marriage dowries ,
nnd the elub will attend the ceremony
in a body and bring appropriate per
sonal gifts.
Many Willing to Wed.
Immediately after the land drawing ,
when the names of all the winners
were published in the newspapers with
their home addresses , a mushroom
crop of men-willing to wed began cor
respondence with women prize win
ners. Their mail was laden with love
missives. Some were apparently friv
olous , others plain business proposi
tions In which the writers said they
knew unprotected women would have
rough furrows to plow and tha t the
masculine hand was molded to guide
the plow. They would supply the ma.s-
cullne hand and throw in a masculine
heart If agreeable to both.
The lonesome women of Bonosteel
compared notes , and out of the con
ference grew the plan to determine by
a period of service similar to that of
the Biblical Jacob the value of those
who wished to wed. The terras pro
posed , It was agreed , should be such
as would discourage any man from
making matrimonial advances unless
he expected to stick to bis work
A year of probation Is Intended not
only to give the would-be husband an
opportunity to demonstrate his worth
as a farmer but to afford time for crit
ical Inspection of his moral worth and
general habits. If a summer In the
fields under the South Dakota skies
does not dry up the wellsprings of MH
affections , the Bonesteel Matrimonial
club reasons that he may bo expect
ed to remain faithful the remainder of
his lifetime.
